Normal Skin Findings and Cultural Practices in Pediatric Patients with Skin of Color
The understanding of melanocytes is fundamental to the study of dermatology. These dendritic cells underly the most feared primary cutaneous malignancy, fuel escalating progress in immunotherapy strategies, and invariably underlie entire socioeconomic constructs consciously or unconsciously based on skin tone. Various ethno-genotypes combine with increasing frequency over time, increasing the diversity of skin types that may present with dermatologic diagnoses. Understanding the biology of a variety of skin tones and ethnic practices congruent with distribution of skin tone is invaluable to any physician who wishes to prac...

Features of Common Skin Disorders in Pediatric Patients with Skin of Color
Many dermatologic conditions common in the pediatric population may have unique presentations in skin of color or occur with greater incidence. This may be due to ethnic origin, socioeconomic factors, or other influences. Awareness of the potential variations in skin of color may enhance prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and/or reassurance as indicated. (Source: Dermatologic Clinics)

Update on Clinically Relevant Genetic Testing in Pediatric Dermatology
Clinical genetic testing enables the detection of specific gene mutations and variants that predispose individuals and their family members to disease. In recent years, tremendous strides have been made in the variety of clinically useful tests. Targeted testing for specific mutations that cause well-known syndromes enables the efficient diagnosis of genetic diseases with cutaneous manifestations. Testing for specific genes, however, may not always reveal a diagnosis. Expanded options are available. This review outlines the major types of available technology with a focus on those tests most useful for pediatric dermatolog...

Updated Approach to Patients with Multiple Caf é au Lait Macules
Caf é au lait macules (CALMs) are a normal and frequent finding in the general population, but multiple CALMs raise the possibility of an underlying neurocutaneous disease like neurofibromatosis type I. Certain features of CALMs like number, size, shape, and distribution are important in identifying ch ildren at higher risk of having a neurocutaneous disorder or another genetic disorder. Genetic testing can be especially helpful in establishing a diagnosis in atypical presentations, or when the child is young and other features of the disease aside from CALMs have not manifested.
